Footnotes
- 102 The identification of this bird has been called into question by G. R. Driver, “Birds in the Old Testament,” 87 (1955): 137–38. He refers to this bird as an owl. That identification, however, is not reflected in any of the lexicons including the most recent, which still gives “ostrich” ( יַעֲנָה) as does W. S. McCullough, “Ostrich,” 3:611. , , , and God’s Word all identify this bird as “owl/desert owl.”
- 103 Heb “Therefore desert creatures will live with jackals and ostriches will live in it.”
- 104 Heb “It will never again be inhabited nor dwelt in unto generation and generation.” For the meaning of this last phrase compare the usage in Ps 100:5 and Isaiah 13:20. Since the first half of the verse has spoken of animals living there, it is necessary to add “people” and turn the passive verbs into active ones.
